It’s a genuine question … would you trust him?
I don’t know Mr Haman … he popped up on my Linkedin feed a few weeks ago and I’ve been sort of fascinated with him ever since.
I’ m not exactly sure why.
It could be the photo he used.
It could be that he’s given himself a rather fetching ‘middle name’.
It could be that he claims to be the most connected man on Linkedin. In the World.
The reality is I have no idea about his credentials as an innovator, solution provider or trainer … but my question is, if you were looking for an innovator, solution provider or trainer, would this profile actually make you want to know more or run?
That is a genuine question, I’m not judging or being condescending, I’m fascinated by him and would love to know what your first impressions would be or – if you wouldn’t hire him – who do you think would? Thanks.

Comment by DH January 12, 2016 @ 6:21 amI’m guessing the news of Bowie’s death has screwed with your brain to make you be the first to comment on a post.
Comment by DH January 12, 2016 @ 6:23 amless that the trump, more than a fucking planner.
Comment by andy@cynic January 12, 2016 @ 7:34 amFunny, I had a feeling you’d all say that.
You’re all becoming predictable … which I know is possibly the best insult I could give you.

Comment by andy@cynic January 12, 2016 @ 8:32 amSadly, that’s a good point.
Comment by Rob January 12, 2016 @ 9:06 amNo Robert, I would not trust that man but then I don’t assume I am the audience he wants to connect with.
Comment by George January 12, 2016 @ 6:53 amI’m shocked about Bowie’s death but he did it in his typically stylish way.
You mean you’re not a sucker. Except when Rob asks you to do something.
Comment by DH January 12, 2016 @ 7:17 amyou dont die stylishly, you die gracefully. and youre paid because youre supposed to be fucking smart.
Comment by andy@cynic January 12, 2016 @ 7:35 amTo be fair George, Andy is right and we both know how much we don’t want to ever admit that.
Comment by Rob January 12, 2016 @ 7:49 amI’d book him just for the cabaret value.

Makes sense.
Comment by Ste January 12, 2016 @ 8:41 amHa.
Comment by Rob January 12, 2016 @ 9:07 amI defintely would contact LinkedIn to ask them what’s fucking wrong with their algorithm if he popped up in my timeline or suggestions. I they then told me nothing was wrong, I’d know that my career (if I ever had one) is screwed.
Comment by Seb January 12, 2016 @ 11:49 pmmr purple turning up on your linkedin timeline is still less fucked up than campbell popping up at wieden and kennedy.
Comment by andy@cynic January 13, 2016 @ 1:19 amI wonder when I see these types of profiles…. is there a financial payoff to being the most connected person on Linkedin? Maybe I need a more descriptive middle name?
